"Sen. Bernie Sanders has sparked conversation on social media with a post tying universal health care to an idea floated by President-elect Donald Trump. According to The Associated Press (AP), at a dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in November, Trump jokingly suggested that Canada become the 51st state of the United States of America.

In Sanders' post on X, he wrote:

"Trump has suggested that Canada become the 51st state in our union. Does that mean we can adopt the Canadian health care system and guarantee health care to all, lower the cost of prescription drugs and spend 50% less per capita on health care? I’m all for it.""

How about asking the Canadians if this is something they want?

 

82 percent of Canadians would not like to become the 51st state, 13 percent said they would, and 5 percent did not know or chose not to answer. (Link: https://leger360.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Report-OMNI-CAN-16811-123-51st-state.pdf)

Bernie was being facetious. This thread should be focused on Trump making the stupid proposal. I thought the Orange Kool-Aid Man was joking, but now that he's talking about taking over Greenland and the Panama Canal, I can't tell.

 

Trump couldn’t even find Greenland on a map.

 

Canada as the 51st state won't happen, in part because if it did somehow happen it would shift the Electoral College and Congress greatly to the left.

 

Does he know that most people in Greenland are not Caucasian?

 

After being told Trump said, "Oops, I didn't know that Greenland was a shithole country. Never mind."

 

This is a good riff going on here
